Butterfly Gift Card Holder

Hello Everyone

Today I am sharing a project I have been making at some of my recent workshops. I often CASE, (copy and share everything), other peoples' great designs - but this was one that I came up with myself. (Blushes proudly!)

As you can see, it features my Big Shot and I got a few ooh and aahs from my lovely hostesses and their guests as they watched how easily this project came together.

Outside I cut the Designer Paper, (one of the Lap of Luxury papers), with the Top Note die. I scored it and adhered it to the Perfect Plum cardstock.

Next I got out the Beautiful Butterflies die. What is so lovely is that this die makes such big butterflies. I used the Bella Toile background stamp on the Very Vanilla butterflies and then used a blender pen and some Marina Mist ink to add some more colour.

Inside I used the biggest of the butterflies and attached it to a strip of cardstock, stuck with sticky strip around three edges to create a gift card holder.

...and I know a Tescos mobile top-up card is not very exciting! It was the only one I could find for the photo! LOL

I finished the project using the Beautiful Wings Embosslits die to create the little butterflies. I love the way these little dies cut and emboss at the same time.

I added some narrow taffeta ribbon and rhinestones to the butterfly on the front. Daubed around the edges and layered the large butterfly on a second layer cut in Marina Mist.

I hope you like this project - it is one my personal favourites!
